1986 Reading Record Comments | |
---|---|
1986 started off strong but it looks like I stopped recording the books in my journal. It's possible, but not very likely that I didn't read much this year. The dates are more circumspect than 1985. The comments are not very helpful, so if you want more information about the book, click the title or the book image for links to Amazon Page Count Grade 0-9 Date I finished Source (FPL: Fargo Public Library, MSU: Minnesota State University Moorhead Library) |
